Hello all, I am newbie on bedrest and am border to death and frustrated. I need help and if it is a big job I will pay. I have seen you guys n youtube with same phone\board and they can have a working connection in a few minutes like nothing. I cannot but it seems simple - if you know what to do of course. I just cannot power up board, i need the "demokit ADK" sketch or any working sample code. Please.
If you can connect Android to Arduino: create a working "Blink Pin #x" app, please keep reading:
Here is my hardware on first post (i have tried USB & now Arduino Mega ADK for Android). On another post http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,160336.msg1199973.html#msg1199973.
I am on bed rest, kidney failure got me and bored out of my mind. I want a balloon drone so I can sit on balcony and fly my balloon around the huge rec. center next door. I have Samsung Galaxy Nexus (ICS). Then I discovered I need "accessory mode" for USB. So I bought a Samsung S from a fellow software developer. It in At&T Samsung S, rooted/unocked, CyanogenMod v10.0.0. I have tried apps in Google Play Store: "ADK Demokit", "Arduino Commander" and more, using USB Mega ADK/blutooth+uno...i get nothing. the board just wont power up. I am obviously not using correct sketch or app. I have tried to write my own following tutorials. It's been on/off project for a year or more. Please help this newbie, I have kidney failure and I am stuck in bed -BOREDOM is worse part. I just want to get a connection so I can build things. I am a great programmer: i have used Eclipse (Flex Builder) but never in java (but I can) for arduino and new to sketches really. I just need a "Hello World".
My environment as of now is Eclipse: build android app with drop down to select pin #13,14,15 and a button to blink that pin's LED. I am using regular Arduino.exe to upload sketches.
I am willing to pay via paypal, I am sick of wasting time. Options:
- Send me a zip of an eclipse app and an arduino sketch, login to my PC, get it setup (or type instructions), we can skype
- Login to my pc, Skype and show me what I am doing wrong, get it to work
Thanks - Michael
